I noticed that some of you have the updated from google and some dont. Are they all made in china? From what I hear the chinese one is the better one.

This waiting is driving me crazy. I was hoping they put out that delay email as just a CYA measure. I didn't actually think they weren't getting any more product in until next week. If they don't ship out by Monday night I think I'm going to get a refund. Here's to hoping they are getting it from the same source they did in the past. Seems the people that got phones on the first shipment got good ones other than the dirty plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Ok, I am more convinced than ever that this company is on crack (or at the very least, doesn't know their A-hole from a hole in the ground)!

I had sent them an email on Jan 11th asking where my order was, I get an email from Jordan this morning, replied with the following...

"Hi,

I am sorry for the inconvenience! You should have received a email regarding the order and what options you have. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Thank You,

Light

The DailySteals Team"

Basically it's a generic runaround response email, big surprise there. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I replied back explaining to him that I didn't need a "choice" email, as to what to do, as I already have a tracking number, but no ship date - because UPS doesn't have the order yet.

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

Anyone else that also received a ship label on UPS site, get an update yet? I had hoped that no later than last night (Jan 12th), I would have been able to log into DS or even UPS and see a ship date/arrival date.

Not sure what I am going to do (request refund or wait it out), but like many of you - I am pretty damn pissed! But one thing is for sure, after this - I will NEVER order from this company again! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafrad:
Got mine on the 12th.

:D

Rezound is on its way back to amazon.... :happy dance:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmbrady:
I got an email with a tracking number on the 11th, but UPS still hasn't received the package. Feels like they gave me a tracking# to make me feel better, but they don't actually have a phone to ship. I'm ok with waiting, but definitely would never order from them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
They didn't even bother to send me an email with the tracking number, I had to get that on my own via the instructions on page 8 of this thread. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] az93civic:
w00t

My was delivered, and g/f placed it in the house. I'll check it out when I get home and post pics and info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I got the same email from them and I never got email from them before that. I think we are in the same boat. Well, at least I am not alone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] echau:
well...finally found my tracking number via UPS and a label has been created, but who knows when it'll actually go out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
I just got my shipping label created also. It seems that they got the next batch of phones. I ordered at 4:30 but it doesn't say the eta when it should arrive...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I got that 2 days ago and nothing changed since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dionysos911:
Did you get the email about a shortage and it'd ship out next week?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Yes I did! I got the email about having to wait.. I still didn't get an email from them that they sent it out but I went through the reference number with ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dionysos911:
You sir have brightened my day. It's showing a label created for me as well. Ordered might about 6pm pst. (Roughly an hour before deal ended)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] echau:
I never got the delay email, but the shipping label means nothing to me until UPS actually has it in their hands. Hopefully we'll see updates soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dionysos911:
Any word on where it ships from or how long it takes for it to get to seattle once shipped?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Finally got a shipping label here too! Here's to hoping it will go out tonight so Tuesday night latest! Hope the extended battery and cover get here from Korea by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] echau:
hmm...2:09 shipping label created...

2:16 picked up by UPS

estimated delivery is thursday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fumanstan:
Shipping label for me as well. Here's hoping for Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
That's nice. shipping label was created on 11th for my order, but nothing happened since then...

Now i work in downtown NY, and i contacted UPS to see if i can pick it up in person, and this is what the rep said...

" i work in downtown, ny...and the tracking states that the item is in Brooklyn, NY...I was wondering if I can go to the UPS store where the item is, and pick it up in person with my drivers' license?

Priyank: is that possible?

Priyank: so, is it possible for me to pick it up from brooklyn?

Dorian D.: Unfortunately we are not able to deliver a package prior to the scheduled delivery date. If you place the package on hold, it will be available for pick up the next business day from the scheduled delivery date.

Priyank: oh ok, nevermind then

Priyank: i'll let it be...

Priyank: is there a reason why that is though? i mean if you guys have my package, why can't i just pick it up...saves travel time and gas money for you guys

Priyank: lol, i figured that'd be better

Dorian D.: I understand your point of view. But since Ground packages are transported via tractor trailer or rail car, they are not accessible during transit.

Dorian D.: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Dorian D.: I haven't heard from you in a while. Unless you have more questions I'll go ahead and end the chat.

Priyank: thanks"

BUMMER, now i gotta wait till monday :(

EDIT: btw, i live in queens, NY...so i'm going to have a tractor trailer come deliver it to my house (or the train, but i doubt that)!!!

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

But does your label say that it was picked up by UPS...i just got excited, don't wanna be let down again :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sizzip:
Hey Priyank, what time had you placed your order (EST) on the dailysteals site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Congrats on getting a date/time! What time did you place your order with them (On Jan 4th)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
got my label also, hope it hips out by tonight, i wonder if it can travel to louisiana by tuesday

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
I just ordered a Galaxy Nexus from an individual off Craigslist. He claims to be a Verizon rep and lives a little further away then I care to drive. So I contacted paypal and asked what my protection would be if I purchased it. They said I'm covered as long as he puts the description in the invoice.

So I wrote a very detailed description outlining the item, the shipping address, shipping terms, and return terms if it's not as described. He agreed to use my description so we proceeded with the order last night.

Long story short, I bought a brand new, in box, Galaxy Nexus for $410 (shipped - no contract). I have a fedex tracking # that originated from the location he claimed to live in for a 1.8 lb package. I don't want to jinx it but I think I got a good deal. I'll report back and let you all know if the phone arrives and if it is truly brand new and can be activated on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Haha. I bought my GSM Galaxy Nexus for $351+$12 for shipping and it also included a special back cover. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Can this be real??

http://techcorner.1freecart.com/i/2...exus-4g-i9250-unlocked-quadband-gsm-phone.htm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Wow, where from? No contract?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
this has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, quit trolling
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
It was from a member on here. I am so glad that he gave me such a good deal otherwise i would never have been able to afford the phone. And nope! I am contract free on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
Hey man, some people are just excited to get their Galaxy Nexus. Relax. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
I'm not the only person who reported buying one elsewhere since the first few pages. Get your panties out a wad!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikejaret:
i got my gnex from the daily steals deal today!

works great! already installed gummynex on it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
I just checked UPS and found my tracking number too. I ordered at 1:33PM EST

Hopefully they are actually shipping it tonight so I can get it earlier next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
How can that deal be true? Must be refurbished or worse... less than 300 but notice they don't state anything about the condition of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dionysos911:
Just checked UPS and my order is now in their hands.. Unfortunately Seattle is a long way from Brooklyn..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Mine also shows its with ups and should receive it at the end of the day on Wednesday.. So excited :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larryvand:
Got mine yesterday from DS. It is awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Still nothing here. This blows big time! I placed an order at 10:35 AM (12:35 PM their time), and no email to let me know that it's delayed, with the option to cancel - absolutely nothing from this POS company!

So, I am going put in a request to PayPal to get a full refund - and if it's not as quick as it was with them taking my money, I am going to do what another member did here on the forum and file a complaint with the BBB - then I am going to go to every review site I can, and trash this site to hell!

Yes, I am really pissed to say the least!:mad:

But congrats to those of you that have your phones already, or that have a shipping date and a date of arrival - enjoy your beautiful phones, and good luck! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
Have you tried the UPS search trick? Some people on Slickdeals were in the same situation but they eventually found their tracking number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Yeah, I have been checking that daily, every hour! lol Still nothing, just a shipping label has been created...

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

Just logged into my DS account, it now says it shipped on the 11th - pure BS! It has NOT shipped! DailySteals lies, as I trust UPS before I do this POS company! :(

Oh well, it what it is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
Just give it a little more time...my UPS tracking just updated literally 10 minutes ago, and is scheduled to be delivered next Tuesday :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
Update: It's finally shipped, and will be here next Thursday (pissed about this) - still think this company is a POS though, and their business practice is pretty bad - especially CS. Let's just say, I don't see this company ever getting a J.D. Powers award anytime soon. ;) Anyway, it's on its way - so we'll see...

Thx for your encouragement/support - it helped to calm my nerves down a little bit! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
My ups tracking now shows that it is rescheduled for Tuesday instead of Wednesday! Love UPS! For those that have not heard anything, I would send another message to daily steals...

Motorola cliq XT>Samsung vibrant > future galaxy nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
No prob...this will probably be the last time I buy from them but hey we got a good deal so all is good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
I actually tried to place an order with them this morning (as I figured the one from DS wasn't ever coming). As soon as you input your info and click submit - it takes you to the shopping cart/storefront hosting company/1FreeCart.com (that Tech Corner uses) trying to get you to also buy a storefront with a shopping cart from them.

The cart is supposed to take you to PayPal, and it doesn't. I emailed them and told them that their cart is broken, and that the cart doesn't take you to PP - never heard back from them.

Can you say RED FLAG?! Umm yeah - golden rule, if it sounds too good to be true - then it probably is! Total scam!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 02busa:
Well mine came in today, everything is working great.. I love it so far. Everything was sealed and in perfect condition. Running on AT&T perfectly.. noticed upload and download speeds are alot faster than before. 6-7 down 2.5- 3.5 up. My tracking # was listed under my order info on Daily Steals website. Never got any kind of email notifying me it shipped. Hope this helps ease some worries..

Sent from Galaxy Nexus with flames coming outta the exhaust...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Yeah, I saw mine had a label made for it, and now it's checked into UPS, with a delivery date "by Tuesday end of day." Awesome. I hate waiting, especially in this internet generation, but if any of you are old enough to remember the old mail order days, with the whole "6-8 weeks delivery" deal, this is still great. I have little patience but waiting 2 weeks to get the very best android phone (I'm an original G1 and 3 other android vet) at less than Verizon unsubsidized price, is worth it!!! Here's to hoping I don't have massive banding, yellow screen, and glass defect free phone! Seems since everyone else has reported getting a "china made" phone, that it will be the mature production version of this phone. Square trade here I come!

Edit: Actually I've owned G1, MyTouch Slide, Vibrant, MyTouch 4G, Nexus S, Nook Tablet, and now soon to be GSM Galaxy Nexus!!! Would love 32Gb, but since my Nexus S still has over 8Gb left... I'm happy! Don't think I'd be this happy if I'd never been pointed to XDA forums back in 2009! This place makes owning an Android device all the more worth it! Thanks especially to Steve Kondik and JesusFreak, without you guys I don't know if I'd still be rocking Android!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fumanstan:
Got a tracking number for mine too, for Thursday end of day. Guess it takes a bit longer to get here on the west coast. Sucks to wait a week longer then others here, but I'm happy to know its coming.

I know the lack of communication and slow ship times from the site are annoying, but for $100 cheaper then anywhere else I'm OK with it. I'd rather deal with that then pay the $650 - $700 elsewhere, so to me thats good enough justification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Amen Fumanstan! One more week and save that much cash? No brainer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas3d:
Hi all,

For your information, my order was at 1/4/2012 1:38:06 PM

I receive this week the classical email my order was delay to next week.

But surprise my order was ship today

Scheduled Delivery:

Thursday, 01/19/2012, By End of Day

Last Location:

Departed - Brooklyn, NY, United States, Friday, 01/13/2012

I'm living in LA.

Now 5 days of wait ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I think that everybody's order shipped today, regardless of when you ordered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takram:
Got mine about 4 PM PST in Southern California. Received no tracking emails or even that it had shipped (paid via paypal). The sticker on the battery door had residue on it, but the screen was flawless, as were all of the accessories.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgs991099a:
So it ships from New York City (Maspeth, which is in Brooklyn). Mine shipped on the 9th and won't get to me until the 16th (so a week). I too live in the Seattle area, so I know your pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgs991099a:
So my phone is in the next town away (the UPS facility is 5 miles from my house). Shame they don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays, or I'd have my phone 2 days earlier... Guess I just have to wait until Monday afternoon to get it. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsntrenkler:
Contact the BBB, currently Daily Steals has a B- Rating, it takes 5 minutes to file the complaint and they are very helpful. So far the BBB is mediating all discussions with Daily Steals and Daily Steals looks like a bunch of idiots, they have already missed their quoted ship time to me twice "through BBB mediation." and now have failed to refund my money. I canceled my order late on the 11th and still haven't seen a refund, my guess is that my order will ship monday morning before they could issue the refund. We shall see... I never intended to be a troll, I just have issues with a company that doesn't answer their phone, doesn't return emails and has no regard for their customers. For those of you that did get your phones it is comforting to know that you did get what you paid for, however there are several of us that have been thus far screwed on this deal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
Knowing their efficiency I wouldn't hold my breath. As far as I can tell most people here Slickdeals have got their orders sorted (including the person you quoted), so I guess you just have to wait a couple more days.

By the way if you didn't pay with Paypal it is normal to take a couple of business days for your refund to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fumanstan:
Yeah, it seems like everyone that ordered finally got shipping information yesterday. I know customer service from them sucked, but honestly after reading that Daily Steals is slow to ship stuff out, it was easier to just be patient and not freak out and rushing to cancel and complain. Let alone stress out about it once people started to see shipping info early this week.

Given that everyone looks like they're getting their phones (eventually), I don't see any reason to panic over getting a refund or believe it won't be processed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminatorxman:
I got the delay email and was so bummed...but to my surprise I checked my order status last night and ...boom! Shipped and will be here on 1/19/12....Nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmbrady:
Very odd, when I checked UPS this morning it now says that it is "In transit", but there are no other details. No expected delivery date, no location info, nothing. It says "1 more business day" and that's it. I guess it is shipped, but I have never seen a UPS info screen like it.;
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have posted what I did - but I was really pissed! Having had a couple of local companies screw me out of a few grand this past year (in 2011), my thought was; "Oh great, I am getting screwed again by a company!"

But had I not gotten a shipping confirmation when I did the other night, I would have been on the tails of the BBB and any other consumer protection agency I could find! lol Thx to CtBear calming me down a little bit helped, and I gave it a little more time.

Now scheduled for delivery this Thursday (although I am hoping for earlier). So as long as the phone shows up here this week, in mint condition - then all will be fine. At least I am not having to wait (like a lot of folks that got that email) until sometime next week (date unknown), for it to ship.

I do agree that this company has the worst CS I've seen - obviously no J.D. Powers Award in their future! But I guess if I wanted perfect CS, I could have paid a lot more and went with a company like Amazon instead. Not that this is excusable, but sometimes what what they say is true; "You get what you pay for."

Anyway, at this point I don't even care anymore, I just want my Galaxy Nexus! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdoobs:
I can't believe all the people complaining about how slow a daily deal site is shipping. Do a quick search for woot, 1saleaday or dailysteals and you'll quickly find that receiving your order in less than two weeks is fast. I should be getting my nexus on Tuesday exactly when I expected it when I placed my order. If you need next day delivery amazon is an option for a much higher price. Can't wait to try out android again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bmerz:
For me it wasn't so much about the shipping (although not thrilled), as it was their horrible CS, and lack of communication. I never got any emails of shipping status, tracking number (had to get that on my own), or that I'd be included in the next batch as some people here did.

With this company being notorious for slow shipping, they shouldn't advertise that they ship within 6 business days. That leads most to think that it ships within 6 business days, from the time order was placed.

One thing I am almost certain of with this company, is that they are a 3rd party/middleman vendor. They charge your CC or PayPal account 1st, wait for your payment to clear, and then they place the order with the wholesaler.

So they should revise their shipping page to state that your order will ship within 6 business days of your payment cleared. Or something along these lines, as it would save a lot of aggravation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thetinybus:
There are multiple threads saying they are terrible and how they over sell the items. If you didn't know that then its your fault for not doing the research and if you did know, it shouldn't be a shock that it lives up to the reputation. Either way you got the discount by going with a cut rate site. You wouldn't expect a Hyundai dealership to give the service you'd receive at BMW dealership would you?

I received my phone yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Not so much news but I live in northern Virginia and mine is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday... BUT it's already landed in Laurel, MD which is only 48mi from my house. I know UPS does their shipping operations 7 days a week. Some people have had their delivery date bumped up a day and they do deliver on MLK day. So, anyone think there's a chance the phone will be delivered Monday? It arrived in it's current location at 7am EDT. I can wait till Tuesday but it would be a nice bonus to get it Monday instead. Especially since my TPU case and extended battery/back came were delivered today!

As an off topic aside, anyone wanting the 2000mAH battery doesn't have to wait till March for shimshop on Ebay to get theirs. I got mine off Gmarket and for around 50 bucks it came direct from Korea in 6 days!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InternationalNexusFan:
I received mine last Thursday. The box was not sealed. There wasn't even a broken seal on it. Otherwise, everything seemed to be in good order. It came with a US charger.

Unfortunately, it came with yakjuxw on it, so I installed yakju to get the updates sooner and directly from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
Daily steals probably needed to open every single box to take out the international charger and replace it with a USA charger.. thats my theory, lol
